- Distraction 1 (Read MegaTokyo / ponder future Sony products): The one they call Tin_man_ and I were once very amused by the concept of Sony making anything called a "Killstick" (I just found this pic in my bookmarks!) - from MagaTokyo.
- Distraction 2 (Do a crossword): The ultimate online crossword/letters game - I loved these as a kid but now I won't have to spend hours rubbing out my mistakes!
- Distraction 3 (Play Ducktales online!!!!): vNes lets you play all of those classic Nintendo games online (on a webpage - not an illegal download!). Ducktales still rocks.
- Distraction 4 (go for a taxi ride for fun): Not strictly a game but the Edinburgh City Safari Taxi looks like a laugh. I remember seeing some people being really random jumping into taxis in a comedy way on Princes street ages ago... maybe they weren't just crazed tourists!
- Distraction 5 (Read XKCD): The massively amusing XKCD comic have started a trend... sticking the pieces down on a chess board and taking them onto roller coasters just to see what the souvenir picture looks like. Genius.
- Distraction 6 (Play make a new friend): You can now play the classic text adventure The Hitch-hiker's Guideusing IM!
- Coming Soon: Games with a purpose (from the man who invented the Google image labelling game and the Captcha) are sure to be a hoot when they are finally launched.
